Lefty - Quite a lengthy video. Yes, I did view it from beginning to end. The comments do cover about 25 years of HIV/AIDS 1988 - 2012 and show how dificult it was / is to get a handle on the subject. The video wants to show diferences of opinions in the medical community. However, if such differences exist at todays date and to the extend shown is more than questionable. I sense a lot of wishfull thinking of people struck by AIDS. Does it tell me that the HIV virus does not cause AIDS, no it does not. The video only tells that some individuals question it. Do I sign on to the concept that if I have a good immune system I can not catch HIV nor get AIDS - no I do not believe in fairy tales. Listen to the upheavel a positive HIV test has created in the lives of the people in the video and be on the safe side. I go back to what I said before, cover up, even if it is for only thy other STD's out there.

I think this post is too important to be deleted intirely, but yes scratch the names in the first posting. I just went to the CDC web page (Center for Desease Control and Prevention), there is a page titeled HIV Transmission Questions & Answers. That page should be mandatory reading for anybody visiting LB's and contemplating unprotected sex, anal or oral

Lefty - I am sure you know a lot more than I do about HIV and I do believe that some people may take what you wrote in your last post above as an excuse to go right ahaed to plow in bare back or have it put to them bare. I for one have learned over many years not to tempt "Murphys Law" and will go by what I have said in my post above and strongly suggest to fellow forum members not to take chances.

Well, I am no expert on HIV but I am told that a HIV test does not show negativ if "recently" infected. No matter what the odds are, 1 in 5 or 1 in 500, it scares the hell out of me. Remember Murphys Law, that might give you no odds at all. So assume that the first time you go bare you bought it. In my opinion any time this subject comes up on the forum the rest of us should be posting "COVER UP" for the benefit of the few who are taking chances and possibly passing it on to other LB's

Todays update - the last road south has been closed due to the flood (that is the road leading to Hua Hin) SIAMSAM - This is something you might want to keep track of

I would not be that pessimistic, The Thais have managed floods before. Sure the most needy people will or have been hurt the most and a good number of jobs have been lost at least for some time, but this flood will create new jobs as well once things dry out. What will hurt is the luck of tourists but I am sure even that will turn around again fairly quick. Texasmac - I assume based on your arrival date that you will be heading to Pattaya and there is no need to worry.

Thank you, all of you for your comments. I have been married, had kids and got divorced. I dont try to fit in or need to pigeon hole myself any more, got too old for that and dont have to pretend for the kids sake anymore. It's just that the LB's I got to know have been too single minded about money. Yes, I fully understand theire situation and have made generous allowances for it. Never ran into that with my thai girlfriend, but for some reason I do keep going back to the LB's. Mind you, I am talking in both cases about LOS since in North and South America shemales and GG's are equaly materially oriented and of no further interest to me. Hooked on Thailand and like Willy said, I will keep an open mind

I am confused and I dont know where it is leading me, I dont like men, never did never will. I dont like femboys but I do think that Thai ladyboys are beautiful and sexy as long as they look like Panicos said, look very feminine and have tits. I do like GG's and I am not about to give that up and what I am about to say next might get me in hot water on this forum. Thai ladyboys are a bigger turn on for me than GG's but GG sex I still find more satifying. Maybe I have not found the right Ladyboy or my Thai GG girlfriend is just better, time will tell.

Thank you JaiDee, not only for the interesting history lesson and all the good you did for the LB's but for all the great help your work provided for us in preparing for our trips to LOS and the time we spend there. Thanks again

Hefe - dont count on it. I am told that hotel prices in Hua Hin and Pattaya have actualy gone up and hotels are booked out due to the influx of all the people fleeing the water in BKK, and on top of that Quantas has shut down due to a labor dispute. The flood walls in BKK held up at todays high tides, so with some luck and the next tides gradualy getting lower there is some hope that BKK is back to normal in about 2 weeks. Just in time for the start of the tourist season.

Great pictures Panicos and hopefully the worst is over after today

Randiuno - a question for you. Since when does Adelita bar have ladyboys ?? I know the place well but as long as I remember it was strictly GG's, however I have not been at the place for about 1 year

Yes, by November 30 the worst should be over or should I say the flooding should be history. But for now here is the latest as published 26/10/2011 at 9:31 AM Navy warns, 2,6m high tide Vice Admiral Niruth Hongprasert, chief of Navy's Hydrographic Department, warns Bangkok people that on October 27-28, the high tide from the sea would raise the Chao Pharya River level in inner Bangkok to as high as 2.6 meters above mean sea level, which is higher than BMA's concrete floodwall of 2.50 meters. Expect to see water overflowing banks along the Chao Phraya during high tide, he said In a live TV interview, Vice Admiral N. said it was not easy to predict the level of the river more than 2-3 days ahaed, as there are so many unpredictable variables, especially the big mass of floodwater arriving from the north. In fact, the situation changes day by day, However, the prediction still stands at the moment, that the Chao Phraya River will definitely overflow its banks he said,

SiamSam - what I hear from Bangkok News and what was confirmed 2 hours ago by my friend in BKK is the following. Nobody is sure if central BKK will be flooded or not, the next 6 days will be critical. The flood run-off will be slowed by the expected high tides which will result in higher water levels in the Cha Phraya river. Expected river levels are exceeding the height of the flood walls protecting BKK. Efforts are beeing made to divert water to the east and west around BKK this will effect roads in these areas, however the situation is changing by the hour (for the worst). The Government is forecasting that flooding will impact BKK and surrounding areas for the next 4 to 6 weeks. Food and drinking water in BKK is in short supply but hotel room supply is plentyfull due to lack of tourists and business people. Don Muaeang airport is floode now and shut down. once you get out of BKK and surrounding area you should be ok.

Oh yes, they sure do have sexy LB's in Mexico, but at this time I find it a bit too risky to go south of the border. Too much problem with gangs, drugs and corrupt police. Most of the LB's you find in Mexico City. If just a quick cross border trip from San Diego is in your plans, check out the following Web page: Tijuana sexy

Now about Sao Paulo, This place is loaded with beautiful LB's and anybody "into" it should visit at least once. By the way, this applies to GG's as well. Here it is much easier to pick up somebody on the street and not as dangerous as in Rio. After dark the area you want to visit is where the following streets intersect: Rua Maj. Sertorio and Rua Regio Freitas and Rua Benito Freitas, lots of LB's. There is a convienient short time hotel with nice rooms and shower close by. This takes care of the language problem on the phone for people not familiar with portuguese, A practical hotel close by to be used as a base(3 minute walking) is the COMFORT HOTEL DOWNTOWN at Rua Araujo 141 Cosolacao, Sao Paulo BR 01220-020, Phone (55)112137 4600. Check out those locations on Google maps. Now as to contact info, here are some websites: CHANTILY.com.br, click on ENTRAR, click on ACOMPANHANTES than go to SAO PAULO and select BONECAS ( BONECAS stands for shemales) below are sorted on hair colours and skin colour, Loiras=blond, Mesticas, mulatas etc. Select what you want to see and click on it. This will load the photos, click on the photo and you get the details including dick size. An other site is DISTINTAS same as in previous post but select SAO PAULO instead of Rio. One more site is: MALICIA,com.br, once the web page has loaded click on ACOMPANHANTES, select SAO PAULO and select BONECAS. Click on photo to get detail info on individual including age, dick size, active or passive, etc. Locais = will tell you where she will go. Local propio = her place, local do cliente = your place, Moteis = hotel. I may bore some of you with this detail, but since all of these web pages are in portuguese it was done for the benefit of people not knowing portuguese. In all of these web pages not only will you get the needed contact info but you will have tons of ladyboy photos. Enjoy

As promised here is the Rio web page info: RIORELAX.com.br Once the web page has loaded click on TRAVESTIS and scroll down, You will find a good number of girls and the corresponding phone numbers. Any number starting with (21) is in Rio. Click on any one of the pictures and it will open a page with the details of the individual including location and dick size, dote stands for dick. If you call to make arangements to see someone, in most cases you are expected to go to the apartment of the person you are talking to. One more web page is: DISTINTAS.net/ Once the web page has loaded click on the BRAZILIAN FLAG than click on CATALOGO and go to SELECTIONE A CIDADE and select RIO DE JANEIRO. That will give you a selection of shemale photos with phone numbers. Click on a specific picture and will get a page with more photos and specific details of the person you selected. I hope that will get you started.

Thanks for the invite Panicos and no I do not consider myself an expert on Brazil. But yes I lived for a couple of years in Rio and have visited a few times after that. PD's post above might mislead some about Rio being a lb paradise, far from it. The best place in Brazil is Sao Paulo but the Brazilian lb scene is intirely different from LOS. But lets get back to Rio. If you like men and are gay or lesbian Rio is the place for you. If you are looking for lb's in rio and are not familiar with the territory be very careful, you will not find lb bars like in Pattaya and many of the shemales ( i dont want to call them ladyboys) will hang out at certain street locations at night. If you are alone there is a good chance you might get robbed. You will find what you are looking for on Avenida Atlantica in Copacabana or in larger numbers on Avenida Augusto Severo. I would strongly advise against going alone to the 2nd location. A better and safer way to meet sexy looking shemales is to contact them by phone. In my next post I will try to list some web pages with Brazilian shemale phone numbers. Dont expect to get the GFE and LT you got used to in LOS, what you will get is much more agressive dominating sex. Now, if the beach, street restaurants and good food is not at the top of your list, than go to Sao Paulo. (will be the subject of a later post)

Hi Panicos, I know the finacial situation is bad in Greece but I did not know it is this bad. Take care, looking forward to February

Hi farangbah, nice to hear from you. You are right, they are "send home to ma pictures" but after all this blog runs under the title Thailand Travel not Soi 6. I am sorry that i cant post my LB pictures since one of the LB's got married and others got sponsors, in addition I failed to get permission from the LB's in question to post on the net. However, on my next trip in February I will do my best to get postable LB photos and and post them in the proper forum location. Hope to meet you in February at the GOTC

And here is the rest

Photos as promised, northern Thailand and school graduation

Hi Snick, cant agree more, Thats just the way I feel about Thailand and the people. But to get there one has to relate to the Thais a bit more than just ST with a LB. Thais are proud of and love Thailand and are happy to show it to you if you give them a chance. Below a couple of photos of northern Thailand and a school graduation.

Since we are not talking about livability but vacationing I have to agree with DT, except for Berlin there I would prefer Munich. Amsterdam - same same, however when it comes to Montreal I would prefer Vancouver BC. Rio de Janeiro used to be my number 1 until i got to know Thailand a bit better. Now I give BKK the number 1 spot but only if I can include the rest of Thailand. Here are a few Photos, first the BKK Riverboat Dinner Cruise, at US $30 not to be missed. Than Pattaya off the beaten ladyboy path and last the foating Market outside BKK. In my next post I have a few photos of the area around Chiang Rai

And here are some more for the sightseeing types, that is if you have enough energy after a long night
